Scientology's Intelligence Operations against Gabriel Cazares
[Main Scientology Index][More Internal Scientology Documents]

      In 1977, FBI agents raided Scientology properties (Fifield Manor and the Cedars Complex in Los Angeles, California) and seized a number of documents. Among these were several pertaining to the Scientology infiltration of Clearwater, Florida, currently the site of one of two Advanced Orgs in the United States (there are only six worldwide) and the planned site for the only location where Scientology's Super Power Processes will be delivered to members.

      These Web pages contain transcriptions of some of those documents. Unfortunately, many of them are fragmentary, consisting of only one page of a multipage document. I have attempted to retain, as closely as possible, the formatting and typographical errors in the original documents. Handwritten additions to the originals are indicated by the use of italics.

      See also the Cazares Documents, detailing some of the operations run against Gabriel Cazares, Mayor of Clearwater during Scientology's infiltration of the town.
